The best choice is "hurt"
"Sour" is most associated with "taste," but can mean something that becomes bitter or unpleasant. "Excite" and "strengthen" have opposite connotations. "Hurt," which can mean to damage or to cause adverse affects, conveys a more appropriate meaning in context with the other words in the sentence.
